Ideally having at least 15 hours notice prior to the next Matchmaking would be great. That way the word can get out there and Leadership can make a semi-informed decision to stay Enlisted, or decide against Enlisting. Hopefully the announcement doesn't go down to the wire. Hopefully the Season gets delayed at least 1 week to test these new changes in an off season set of wars. An update sooner than later would be greatly appreciated.
Just as reminders to all of what was said throughout this war cycle. I know I've posted them already, but I don't think we can stress this one enough overall. Things were said and we're once again taking Kabam at their word. Knowing they've heard us is great, but it's only half the battle. The other half is ensuring things get followed through with by following up on them constantly. Once we see the new changes posted here, AND experience them in game will this be put to rest. All we can do is hope the next iteration of the new matchmaking system works ideally for the majority.
i like where you are going with that.
day 1 you set your schedule for the entire week.
that way as day 1 ends day 2 will auto start.
incase an officer is unavailable.
I've seen from a few posts it looks as if this is being looked in to and i really hope that's true as if it stays this way. I basically just won't play wars since my timezone is terrible for it. Thus probably making me leave the game behind because I'll be bored senseless.
Which one? 😅
I’m guessing their intention was to have AW run at 11am pst, which was the earliest you could start AW in thenold system. Then, by changing placement to 20 hours, they created a 4 hour (ish) window to allow for personnel movement not realizing that this pushed the start time up by 4 hours.
Regardless, we should hear from them in the next couple of hours.
USA: war starts 9-10 am
Europe: War falls middle of work schedule, any kind.
Asia: War falls night time.
Didnt think you could actually come out with a system able to mess it up for the whole world. Requires some incredible skills lmao.
At least AQ is better now, so I can try and find an ally that only focuses on that.
The time in between days of AQ has very little to do with the online status of the officers in many cases. Although, I'm sure there's Alliances that have that issue. The few minutes between each AQ that slowly gets tacked on daily is due to the system calculating the increase or decrease in Prestige from the previous day's performance. If they did do this proposed system, it could speed things up start time wise for those who aren't watching for it to open again. Which is a nice idea. It would only tack on at MAX 30 mins total to the entirety of AQ. In turn it would run Day 5 a full 24 hours vs losing that 30 mins from the system delays between days.
What people seem to be overlooking when comparing AQ to AW is the VAST difference in resources needed to make them happen. So the servers might have issues pulling 300 different champs from 30 player's profiles (per full 3 BG war) and launching thousands of these situations at once. Each set of 150 per Alliance have different layouts, with different champs, with different masteries per player, and each champ at a different stage of progress (tier, rank, level, and sig level where applicable).
AQ is 1 basic layout per Map who's overall strength is dictated by the Alliance's Prestige. Even running 3 different Maps per Alliance per Day is NOTHING by comparison as all those champs will be preset to their positions and no masteries taken into consideration. So, while some MAY THINK that Kabam can do this, they think they can't. As @DNA3000 said it, that's all that matters in the end. They won't bother trying if they think it's just gonna cause a server overload. Why waste your time when you already have known connectivity issues across your playerbase as it is? To add more strain to a system with known issues in an attempt to do something that'll likely go sideways... that seems redundant. So yeah, I wouldn't bother suggesting this one in relation too AW anymore. The AQ idea seems quite feasible though.
As it stands, we don't have set start times, nor would I expect to see them for AW. What changes are being made on that note? Tis Tuesday Kabam. As others have said, people are getting antsy. They're also getting nervous. We missed 1 Boss in AW today because of the abnormal start/end time. 1st war it took almost 2 hours to get a match. 2nd we opted out of for player swap purposes mixed with that lovely SA/Villian Use Reward delay. 3rd war we matched inside 18 mins! That had us starting/ending at 10:18 AM EST/7:18 AM PST. That's too early. Waaaaaaayyyy too early. So an update would be GREATLY appreciated.
Just delay the start and get a system people want to play.
